[Spell] The Spellbook spell doesn't work

[bisnar13]

SOLVED

Doesn't work if the current unit will get upgraded. It would just show a blank box with a cancel ability in it. Fuuuu! I know this can be fixed by replacing it, but is there another way so that I don't have to change the unit?

Test map is here.

If you add the abilities to the spellbook, and add the spellbook to the unit, any unit should be able to use any ability inside the spellbook. There's no reason for it being shown for some units, and not for others.

I hope you have downloaded my test map to gain clearer view of the situation he faced.

The UnitMakeAbilityPermanent() what makes the ability stays on the unit even after morph.

I know, but he could add the spellbook to the morphed unit in the OE

For some reasons, that would not relate to the ability at all (assuming the ability has more than 1 Level).

I know he can use variable to save the abilities level and such, but it takes more work compared using a simple function.

Looked at the map, does that mean I need to do that to all units? because I'm gonna put the spellbook on almost all units in my map for other actions

edit: Doesn't work on buildings? when you upgrade them?

So now it's building...

First rule of asking for help: Be specific as you can.

No "building" word there :/

Okay, I'm gonna experiment few things, will back with result.

How does your unit gain this ability ? I'll repeat, be specific as you can, Event, Condition, bla bla bla.
